Book NowAbout Pier Street Kitchen
Tucked just off the Dromana foreshore, Pier Street Kitchen turns coastal cafe staples into serious cooking. Morning regulars come for double espresso, damper rolls stacked with bacon and egg, and chilli scramble. Later on, kitchen orders pivot toward hearty steak sandwiches with crisp hand-cut chips, spiced falafel over quinoa salad, or shakshouka spiced just right. Come twilight, the dining room eases into evening service—pouring shaken cocktails beside plates of crispy-skinned market fish and truffle arancini.
- Daytime cafe to evening dinner: Evenings shift into sit-down dinner service featuring market fish, lobster spaghetti, and craft cocktails.
- Thoughtful dietary flexibility: The kitchen easily adapts signature brunch plates, swapping eggs for portobello mushrooms on request.
- Welcoming family setup: Staff provide tabletop coloring and Connect Four games to keep young diners entertained.
